Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi.
Judy, I am happy that surgery went well. I think the waiting and worrying is the worst part. Please heal quickly and well.
Connie, you sound like you had a busy time with the grands. I can tell you since I have no grandchildren to enjoy them. Should have had another child to give me grandchildren. But it is what it is.
Everyone else, hello and I hope life is treating you well.
I am still hurting from my dental procedure.upper dentures and teeth pulled last Friday. I swore when I was young I would never wear them. If I could afford implants, trust me, I would have implants. Since they cost about the amount of a huge down payment on a house, it is dentures. Genetics were not kind in this area. When I was younger I had stronger teeth. Didn't any more. It is what it is.
My former SIL Carla is doing well. However what the doctors thought was a clot on her lung is a spot on her lung. She has had a CAT Scan. She stated, she did it to herself if it is indeed cancer. However, she doesn't suffer any of the symptoms of lung cancer. We shall see. I pray not.
Sending my love to all. Pain is still a 5, and it exhausts this old lady.
Bye for now.
Judy...I am so happy that all went well with your procedure. I am sorry you will be in pain for so long. I am glad the nurse helped you with a plan on taking your new meds.
NOW....you go rest!! You need to feel better before you can sod anything else. Those tenants can just wait!
Love you...HUGS....healing prayers.....connie d
Judy, it's wonderful to see you on OFF. I'm happy your discharge nurse helped you figure out the meds. It can be very tricky to get everything in while following the protocol.
Rest and take care of yourself!

Good afternoon Vickie and everyone....
I hope you can manage to get the new shower head on. I wouldn't even try to do that sort of thing.
The Fiesta Farm sounds like a fun time for the boys and you all!!
I hope you get the skirts sent back. It sounds like you must talk to your landscaper too. I hope that all works out!!
I am EXHAUSTED!!! Nic and Stephanie left for Iowa this morning. I love my grandchildren but WOW!!! We had something going every day and night, from Saturday through this morning!! It was a lot of fun but my body isn't used to it!! Overall I enjoyed every minute of it!
They were cooking and baking. Yesterday they made me a large pan of fudge. Just because I mentioned I loved it so much. I sent plenty home with them. Jamie, Megan and Gracie love fudge too. Then they made me Rice Krispy bars!!! Nic usually makes then when he is here because he knows I can't stir them anymore and I like them too. This morning they made homemade caramel rolls!!! I kept two...I shared with my friends here.
My cleaning fairy comes at 2:00 PM. We had extra bedding so the kids washed that before they left. Laura still has two more loads to do.
Prayers for our precious OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need. I hope all went well for Judy today!
Much love and many hugs to all.....connie d
Thank goodness that part is over and you did good!! Now just trying to get in the meds and liquids. Try to rest and let the pain meds work their magic!!

Judy: so glad you managed to post so soon after surgery. Rest, get that pain under control, and hope all will be well with you and your sister, but look after yourself first!

Hi...been home since about 9 this morning....surgery went good...right now I feel like I have been kicked in the breast bone where ribs come together by a mule!!!!! OMG it hurts!!!!! Especially when I drink my water, broth or anything else liquid...wondering how its going to feel when I start soft foods tomorrow? Shuddering at that thought!!!!! Yes I am taking my meds!!! A nice nurse that was doing my discharge helped me figure out the way to take everything. Round 2 is in a few minutes...oh God...more pain....
After surgery when they were bringing me back to my room I was getting that "watery" mouth and I told them I was going to be sick...they got me a bag just in time!!! Spit up twice...they gave me something for nausea in my IV...all better!!! I go see the dr on the 31st at 2pm for my check up unless something else happens in the meantime. Yes its normal to be in this pain for about 3-4 days... 
Saw on FB my sister is in hospital and asking for prayers...no clue what is going on yet...her daughter posted it and will not answer me. Figures.
OK meds are calling me time to take them and off I go........Thanks again everyone for the thoughts and Prayers!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
Not a consistent runny nose, that I have with seasonal allergies together with itchy eyes because of pollens, especially flowering Birch in Spring. But I have noticed a dry persistent cough, especially past year, especially at night, comes in spasms, thought it was dry throat so keep water bedside...have not been able to attribute to anything specific, but also have dry eyes, so opthalmologist presumed some of my meds causing side effects. But seems food intolerances can also cause some of these things...
Vickie, Cindi B. and all to follow:
It's amazing what several consecutive hours of sleep will do for a person. Even though I still have this bug, I feel soooo much better today.
I have an appointment at the podiatrist this afternoon in a neighboring city. It's a one and a half hour drive roundtrip -- but he's the closest one to us. We really didn't think much about medical care when needs when we decided to move here 14 years ago.
I need to get in the shower -- so I'm going to go for now. I'll try to check back in later this afternoon.
Have a good day. Hugs and kisses.
Cindy P.
